At the ATMEA Company, we are committed to delivering a highly cost-effective solution in the medium-power pressurized water reactor (PWR) range. The ATMEA1 reactor offers superior economic performance while meeting the highest level of safety and reliability available on the mid-sized reactor market today.

A lifetime of outstandingly economical power generation

The ATMEA1 reactor’s overall cost to buy and operate is highly competitive, thanks to the following:

• High efficiency: Thermal efficiency of about 37% results in target 10% less fuel consumption and radioactive waste production than existing nuclear power plants.

• High availability: Operating availability of 92% as a target over the entire plant lifespan results in low operating and maintenance costs.
